COTTONWOOD.

DR.. Bibby and the edltor took u rue
to Cottonwood Saturday All over the
prairie we noted tho breaking of new
ground going forward and fences being
built South of Brockman's the stage
road has been changed and angles of
to the south. We want to remark that
these frequent changes of the main
road across the prairie ought to be
stopped. No sooner is a road broken
and in good shape than 1t is changed
to accomodate some individual, and as
a result we never have good roads. II
many more changes are made travellers
will soon have to 60 down on Salmon
river in order to cross the prairie.
Roads are a public necessity. but here
they are laid ont and changed to suit
private individuals. The only change
needed in the stage road is to throw 1t
back to Its original location two miles
north. 1t is an imposition upon the
public that they should be made to
travel long distances out of a direct
course and have to break new roads
every year to crafty the individual
interests Of one man, or to preserve the
symmetry of any particular farm.
On the Cotton wood side there is great
activity going forward in farm improv-
ments. Fully 100000 rails have been
laid into fence this year. the breaking
of sod is going on. and there is period
Of activity and hopefulness among the
new corners over there that is a strong
contrast to the croakings we sometimes
hear on this side. Cottonwood is a big
country; We never realised how big
until we skirted along the mountain
side on this trip. and saw the long
sweep of the prairie stretching away
to the south and west to the very
breaks of the Salmon. Time will work
wonders here, and ifthe railroad gets
here Cottonwood will do its full share
towards making this fertile prairie one
of the great grain growing gardens
of the world.

The Soda Water Case.

The case OF +. Edmundson, for SELL
ing soda water at Patterson's drug
store on Sunday, came up in the may
or's court this morning. City Attor-
ney johnson remarked that he had
very serious doubts about selling soda
water on Sunday being a violation OF
the Sunday law. lie said he had con-
versed with several physicians, and
they said soda water could be colsids
cred as medicine. Mayor Brown,
however, was not satisfied TO leave the
case in that condition, and preferred
that one or two practicing physicians
should testify in the case as TO its
medicinal properties. The case was
continued until Monday morning TO
hear the evidence OF experts.

Wood is known throughout the mountsins
as man Of rare pluck, besides being con-
sidered OF exceptional ability rs fnan-

Daadwood, where, during the troublesome
times OF that wild region, he contrived to
keep the value Of his securities far in ex-

In the banking experiences OF mining

Mir. Wood is noted for seeming extravs.

The explanation is eimplo. His jude.

Illustrative Of his character is told by
Black Hills admirers. 1t was said OF him
that he refused money with euch suavity
and grace that the applicant usually left
with an involuntary ''Thank you2 his

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Inspector Byrnet
to forco tho murderer Unger into q con.
iesslon, is being severely criticised as un.
fair and brutal. The New York Times ad.
mits that tho method was bad, but thinks
no substantial injustice was done in this
csHo. Says tho Times: "The theatrical
display arranged by the police to terrify
Unger would have no effect upon him ex.
ceps natural losthing and disgust if he
had not committed the crime for which
he was arrested. An innocent man is no
moro likely to confess upon seeing the
proofs Of some other mans crimo than Il
he had not seen thon."
Oaly q fsw days since a gentleman OF
this city WAS telling the writer Of strik-
ing and painful case in point. A myster.
ious robbery occurred, bs1ling all efforts
togot atarting point in the search for tho
guilty person. Pinkerton detectives were
called in and they promptly chose vic.
tia. Failing to detect anything that
could b. used against tho man, thoy began
a systematic and brutal persecution. They
made bis lilo miserable. Still they we're
as fcr OF as ever from success.
At lest they got him in room by him
sell, tortured him with accusations which
they protested to be able to prove, and
urged him to save himself further trouhle
by coAfessing. Still unsuccessful in their
efforts to extort confession, the de-
tectives next threatened the mans lie,
Somehow tho object Of suspicion got out
oithe clutches OF the detectives at that
time, and Three yeara alter tho real thief
was caught and hall the plumber recovered
without any detective aid.
The suspected man admitted that while
he was under the detective torture he was
more than once disposed to confess to the
robbery to get from under tho narrowing
influence OF tho detectives, and It wa, his
firm conviction that only the grace Of
God kept him from yielding to the
temptation. 20 Af
Under pressure men have confessed to
crimes Of which, ss afterwards appeared
they could not possibly have been guilty,
In the cou1so Of como recent experimental
in Franco young women Of sane but not
strong mind were forced, under hypnotic
influence, to confess verbally to crime, and
even to write and sign statements tho most
derogstory 10 themselves. They knew
what they were doing, protested that thew
would not do it, but they did, for they
could not resist. 6 5.2 Z,
1t is not ut all safe to assume that an in.
nocont peraon cannot BIO made under pres.
sure to coniess to crime. Therefore it
ia not safe to allow police authorities to
prepare their chosen victim for tho sacri-
fico whenever crimo has been commit
ted. That is not the fair trial which the
laws Of civilized society accord to every &C.
cused person. NJ
